Calling All Collectors!

I thought I would just throw this out there... For my material culture class I will need to interview a collector later in the semester and find out about their collection. SO, if any of you are collectors of anything fun, let me know. (Material Culture is basically the study of objects. The things that people leave behind after they are gone. Just in case there was a question about that. I am one step ahead of you!)

"One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one’s work is terribly important."-Bertrand Russell

"The problems that exist in the world today cannot be solved by the level of thinking that created them."- Albert Einstein
